#1522, "Command Request: Ammending Get to deal with Vast Treasures"


          

As it currently stands, Bob the Gnome walks up to a massive hoard of treasure. Greedily he tries to pick it all up, but finds himself too weak. Bob cries a little bit, silently, but moves on, leaving the treasure in tact.

But wait! Why doesn't Bob take what he can carry and buy himself a shiny new flail?

The answer is, of course, that the current 'get' command doesn't support this logical option.


Syntax 'get <amount> <currency> <treasure>'

So bob will see the massive hoard of gold and type in 'get 2 gold pile' and walk off with what he can carry, since the whole pie is too much for the little tyke.

How about it?

he can drop all, get gold, get all, and be on his merry way with ALL the gold.

Admittedly there are situations where your solution is preferable, but this one works 99% of the time.
